Autumn Afternoon Awe ~ Part 2

November 3, 2010
Just how many varieties of pumpkins and squash can there be? 
 
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
My town was also the home of  Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost!
 
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
 We’re surrounded with orchards of various kinds.

Lord of all, to Thee we raise This our hymn of grateful praise.
And even Eric Carle lives nearby!

For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
I’ve always loved this squash sign at a local farm and sugar shack.

Hill and vale and tree and flower,
Sun and moon and stars of light:
 Cute pumpkin people…

Lord of all, to Thee we raise, this our hymn of grateful praise.
 Beautiful doors, porches, and entryways

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above,
Gourds 6 for $1.00 and pumpkins ~ 50 cents each

Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Just around the corner from home…

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness
  Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
    Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Last stop ~ favorite cafe with gluten free goodies…

All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
Perfect autumn afternoon!

Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain,
Call us to rejoice in Thee.
From the hymns:
For the Beauty of the Earth
Great is Thy Faithfulness &
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
